Early planners rejoice. Book at least a year in advance on any Crystal cruise and you'll save 10% on a refundable rate or 20% on non-refundable rates. Crystal brings sophistication to the cruise world: Expect personal butler service, gourmet dining (you must try Umi Uma, created by chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, of Nobu fame) and luxe details like marble bathrooms and Italian bath amenities. Abercrombie & Kent purchased the brand and its two ships, Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony, in 2022. Now, travelers can venture even further off-the-beaten-track thanks to A&K’s on-the-ground connections.

The adults-only Virgin Voyages takes a decidedly novel approach to cruising (no buffets or set meal times, for instance). And now is the time to book: Buy one ticket, and get the second one 70% off. The offer is available for trips departing this year, next year and 2026. Even better, for select 2024 voyages, you’ll get a free upgrade to a balcony room. Book by July 31 (a.k.a. this month!) to lock in the benefits.

Zero single supplement charges on select Ponant voyages
The cruise industry is finally catching up with the times: solo travel is in. Ponant — more yacht than cruise — gets it. The luxury French cruise line operates on a smaller scale, allowing for a more intimate and exclusive experience. Plus, the company prioritizes bringing travelers to secluded, more remote locales — something larger ships simply can’t access. And there’s never been a better time for solo travelers to embark on the Green Globe-certified line: Ponant is waiving any single occupancy fees on over 100 voyages, from Antarctica, Madagascar, Japan and beyond.

Embark on a seabound adventure with the eco-friendly cruise line for the best chance at seeing the natural phenomenon. But here’s the best part: if you don’t see the Northern Lights on your trip, HX will give you a 6-day southbound or 7-day northbound Original Coastal Express Classic Voyage — for free.

Yachting is having a moment, and a trip aboard one of The Ritz-Carlton’s sophisticated, elegant floating hotels is a great way to get in on the action. All of their spacious suites come with private terraces, and the onboard service is among the best of the best. And when you book select sailings with Fora, you’ll unlock exclusive amenities, including a cooking class and chef’s tasting, a dedicated host and your choice of a complimentary shore excursion, shipboard credit or private car and driver.

Kids sail for free on Royal Caribbean for select sailings
Royal Caribbean is the ultimate family-friendly cruise line. Their massive cruise ships are basically floating cities, complete with waterparks, casinos, shopping, restaurants and so much more. There are plenty of things to keep little ones occupied, too, so that adults can have a moment to themselves (like at the spa, for instance). Book before August 1 to lock in complimentary rates for anyone 12 or younger, for select voyages lasting more than three nights.
Fine print: valid for travel booked now through August 1, 2024, for travel from July 31, 2024 to April 25, 2026. Blackout dates apply.
